The small oval port heads and low compression they usually have means they run on even low octane fuel and are decent on MPG for a big block.
Going with the muncie is a good choice with that motor also, the TH400's are great transmissions for reliability even in rough service vehicles or big power but they really suck HP to spin.

I have some better heads in the works to wake it up a bit, the factory 230hp from 1972 is not the best so some heads from a 68 396 should make a little more compression and thus more HP. I also have a th400 but will be backing this with a M20 Muncie. Also going to be running the stock eaton rear for a little bit until I get the 12 bolt built.
